A zero-valent metal polymeric complex supporter (ZVM-PCS) is disclosed. The PCS possesses porous surface and internal coralloid-like channel structure that can accommodate high amount of iron-containing materials and derivatives thereof. The surface pore size, porosity, hydrophilicitv, and internal coralloid-like channel structure of PCS can be tailored through the manufacturing process, with which PCS can be functioned as a regulator for the releasing of produced hydrogen, and also control the adsorption and reactions toward heavy metals and chlorinated volatile organic compounds in water. The hydrogen released from the ZVM-PCS can be applied to anaerobic bioremediation. Moreover, the ZVM-PCS can be filter materials that can be installed in a column or any storage for water and wastewater treatment, or even in a groundwater cut-off barrier for the cleanup of contamination. While the ZVM-PCS is synthesized as a film without surface openings, it can be used as the electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding material. |
